It's a Wilson World!: Going eight months and proud of it!

Eight has been great! Everyone says I am getting so big! No official Dr. appt's this month... we will have to wait for next month to find out the stat's!

I am officially crawling, pulling myself up on everything and even cruising some of the furniture. Mommy & Daddy have put a few gates up as well as did something called "babyproof"... it seems that since I am getting around a bit more, they are afraid I will get into trouble or hurt myself.

I am eating Stage 3 foods... I have pretty much tried eating EVERYTHING I am allowed at this time... Not so found of the chicken, ham or turkey baby food's and sweet potatoes & green beans make my belly hurt so Mommy does not give me those. I love Italian Icee's! I am eating more and more things with my fingers too: bananas, puffs, peas, carrots, watermelon, cookies, mashed potatoes, egg yolks & a cupcake for Daddy's birthday.... This month I get to try cheerios, yogurt, pancakes and granola bars! I am drinking all the time out of my sippy cup and can use a straw now too. I still take 4 bottles a day but mostly at nap times.

Sleeping... well I am still not taking all my naps but Mommy does not seem to be freaking out as much anymore. She tries to get me to sleep in my crib when we are at home... I just get so alone and don't want to be without Mommy. Sometimes I stand in my crib for a while crying and then she comes back in and sits and rocks with me... I can then fall asleep in mommy's arms! (Kayla is learning at bedtime that crying won't get her anywhere... she paces her crib somewhat like a dog cirlces and then lays down when they find a comfy spot)... I am no longer sleeping in my sleep sack, but Mommy & Daddy won't let me sleep with a blanket yet... so its back to the footie PJ's.

I am talking and talking more each day! I say Dadadada, I even say Mamama - but Dadadadada comes out ALOT more. There is alot of rambling and I know Mommy & Daddy wonder what I am saying... since I talk SO much. I love playing games and reading books! And MICKEY MOUSE is my new best friend!!! No joke, I can watch Mickey all day everyday... although Mommy does not let me watch tv too much! I can wave bye bye or hello... whichever works for ya! I am always very social when we go out and my smile seems to make other people happy!

The big number this month is 23 pounds! I am growing and growing each day! Wearing 12 month clothes too... Mommy has been shopping up a storm since all the summer clothes given to me are 9 months!

Here are some pictures from this month!
